How To Create Master Batch File To Call Other Batch Files On Success Only
I stop server services prior to the server backups. Then the backup runs. Then the server services are restarted. This is all done through three separate batch files scheduled in Task Scheduler.
I need help in creating a master batch file that calls one batch file, then on success call another batch file that restarts server services. If the first batch file fails to complete, I need some sort of alert of failure. Is there way to set it so that second batch starts regardless? Since these are server services I need them up and running for the business day.

Sorry, I should have explained that, but thought it is obvious.
A && B || C
executes A, and if it returns 0 (no error), B. If the errorlevel is different from zero, C runs instead of B.
So your batch file A should just return a zero if ok, and something else otherwise.
